>Hi shane,
>
>I'm ready. So are Cedric the Entertainer, Alanis Morissette, Chevy Chase . . . as well as Wisconsin, Texas, Pennsylvania and especially California. 
>
>We're ready for the world to act together to stop global warming. We've teamed up with TckTckTck and the Environmental Media Association to help in the fight to stop global warming.
>
>We're working to bring the leadership of California and other states to the negotiating table in Copenhagen, where in a few weeks world leaders will sit down and try to come up with a plan to stop global warming.
>
>Join your voice with ours, andtell the world you're ready. Check out our new video featuring Cedric the Entertainer, Alanis Morissette, Chevy Chase, Simon Baker, Kathryn Morris, Jason Mraz and others -- and take action. 
>
>Share this video with your friends -- forward this e-mail, post the link on Facebook, Twitter and your blog . . . because we've got our work cut out for us if we want to make history in Copenhagen.
>
>While the Obama administration supports strong action, partisan bickering over his visionary global warming and energy plan in Congress has weakened the president's hand at the negotiating table. 
>
>But we've got a plan to get momentum back on our side. 
>
>Critics point to Congress as proof that America isn't serious about global warming -- but they ignore all that's being done at the state level. After all, if California were a country, we'd be in the G-8. 
>
>And California is already doing what the rest of the world should do: California has put a hard cap on global warming emissions, has an aggressive goal for producing 33 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2020, is leading in solar power with a Million Solar Roofs, and has been regulating auto emissions for years
>
>That's not all:
>
>* Our sister group, Environment New Jersey, led the campaign to get New Jersey to adopt a mandatory economy-wide cap on global warming emissions. 
>
>* Next, Environment Connecticut, Environment Massachusetts and Environment Maryland helped pass caps on global warming pollution in their states.
>
>* Ten Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states have joined together to cap and reduce global warming emissions from power plants. 
>
>* In Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin, governors have set targets for reducing global warming emissions.
>
>* Twenty-eight states and the District of Columbia also have renewable energy requirements. Texas leads the nation in wind energy, generating enough power for 1.6 million homes. 
>
>* Thirteen other states have followed California's lead to cut pollution from cars -- rules then adopted by the Obama administration for the whole country.
>
>* Nineteen states have adopted minimum energy efficiency requirements for utilities.
>
>We need to get the message out. We're ready. We're already taking action, and we want the world to see it.
